Part 1
Presenter: Hello everyone and welcome to this talk about Northfields' Shopping Centre. It opens next weekend and I'm very excited to be able to tell you about it tonight. It's a beautiful building, full of light and colour and a wonderful place to spend time in. It was designed by a prize-winning architect - John Gadzen. That's G-A-D-Z-E-N. Have a look at his website - he's done some fantastic work.
Northfields is just outside town, on Forest Drive. If you're coming by car and want to use your sat nav, then the postcode is WT3 5BX. That's the easiest way to do it; it works better than using the address.
We are open seven days a week, and our opening hours are ten am until six pm every day except Thursday. That's when we have late-night shopping until 8:00 pm. We're planning to open late on Wednesdays too, but that won't happen until we see how popular the centre is.
There are lots of ways to get to us. We have a large car park, which at the moment is free to use. You can also come by bus from the town centre. Bus 635 brings you to the entrance. There's also bus 729, but that stops further away and it's a five-minute walk to the shopping centre. And of course, you can use the underground. A ticket from town is only £3.50. The bus costs £2.00, so the underground is a bit more expensive but much faster. From the town centre, it only takes fifteen minutes! |
